As PC Gamer reports, freelance editor Robbie Reid posted on X/Twitter to claim that neither he nor the artist who modeled Claptrap, the most iconic Borderlands character played by Jack Black in the film, were indexed in the credits.
“This time, 3 years ago, I manipulated Claptrap for the movie Borderlands,” Reid said. “I worked on it for five months straight. Neither I nor the artist who modeled it (with whom I worked all that time) received credits for the film. “
Reid went on to point out that this was a “common factor in the industry” and said that he felt “exceptionally lucky” because it was the first time he had experienced it, but “it just hurts that the one who despite everything ended the streak was the last film I worked on in a studio. And for such a vital character. “
IGN has reached out to Lionsgate for comment.
Borderlands got off to a rocky start, with poor reviews across the board. IGN’s review gave it a rating of 3/10 and said: “Borderlands is a catastrophic sadness that feels like a studio hacked to pieces, betraying everything enthusiasts love about Gearbox Software’s franchise in a derivative and pitiful way. ” “
